Debating whether or not I will need the extended wheel arches to protect the sides of the X5, or if it will look funny with the factory arches that come with the X5 with 18's, since the tires will most likely stick out about an inch from the body. Won't know what it looks like aesthetically, until I put the 20's on in the spring.

Thanks
Yes, I used the winter 18" wheels for 3 seasons. I really did not like the look with the extended wheel arches. I suppose one could go the spacers route... Instead of doing that, I sold my 18" wheels, and now have 20" staggered wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow.
